The 0ff-field problems for Vince Youngcontinued this week as lawyers from the New York firm of Pro Player Funding asked Harris County constables to take an inventory of Young’s possessions as the company tries to get back the nearly $2 million it loaned the former Texas quarterback in 2011.

The constables visited Young’s house in Houston this week, KHOU-11 reported. They were listing Young’s possessions so that Pro Player could assess the value and perhaps seize them as part of their action to get their money back.

Young’s attorney Troy Dolzeal described the action as “guerilla tactics” to KHOU.

In 2011, a loan for $1.876,876.88 in Young’s name was taken from Pro Player. After payments were not made on schedule, Pro Player called in the loan.

Young thensued Pro Player in Sept. of 2012 in a New York court in which he says there was a “brazen scheme” concocted by his former business advisors, who sought to “secure loans using Young’s identity to satisfy their own personal debts and otherwise line their own pockets” as reported by Forbes. Young says that he never received a penny from the loan proceeds. He admits that he had signed a power-of-attorney, granting his financial advisor the authority to act in Young’s name and on his behalf in all financial matters; however, Young claims that, at a minimum, Pro Player Funding was negligent and/or reckless because it did not even conduct due diligence to determine whether Young knew about or consented to the loan and the executed loan documents. Young has also sued his former agent (Major Adams) and business partner (Ron T. Peoples).

Young, who led Texas to the national title in the 2005 season, has been out of the NFL for one season after being cut by the Buffalo Bills. He performed for pro scouts at Texas’ NFL pro day this spring, but has not signed with an NFL team, most of which open training camps this week.
